Correction:
get views should be called in loop over all available tab id's
Browser version:
First seen in 72, but likely it's here since Firefox 5x and closely related to 1382652

This is working as intended. extension.getViews() returns DOM windows that can be accessed by the current context. Container tabs are isolated from normal and private browsing windows, so when called from those, the returned list of views won't include extension pages in container tabs.
When you call getViews() from a container tab, you will be able to see other extension tabs in the same container, though.
